BDS Lynch Mob

geoffff

This is from a comment left by A/Professor Jake Lynch on the article put up by New Matilda about the Shurat HaDin action against Lynch and perhaps in time the other BDS louts who believe that marching and shouting outside private businesses associated with a particular single tiny minority is a good way to advance the human condition; according to their world view. "Glad NM has run some good reporting and commentary on this story, to balance some of the material that has appeared in The Australian", says Prof Lynch.

Try reading this without getting a nasty chilly stabbing twinge somewhere between the shoulder blades and the right jaw. If you are not yet convinced that BDS is a dangerous and sinister thing straight out of the past, with labels on, then this must do the job.

Israel is singled out for boycott, not because of the religion followed by the majority of its citizens but because of its record of militarism and lawlessness. There are other countries that occupy territory recognised as not their own; kill large numbers of civilians in military action; stockpile nuclear weapons without joining the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and violate the 1973 UN Convention against apartheid. But only one does all four. There is no non-Jewish state in that category, so the charge of discrimination is easily disproved on that count as well.

Jake Lynch

Reading this invokes what I can only call a folk memory. Mind you I've seen it before first hand. I think we all have. This is a man come in judgement who has already found you guilty and has defined the crime that he believes with passion best fits you.You came first. Then the crime made to custom like a ghetto shirt.. He could be an inquisitor priest straight out of the fifteenth century. He even looks the part. There's no point arguing with him. He has come too far to get where he is. The only thing to do is expose him.

Or do what Shurat HaDin is doing.

Note the technique. Jake defines the subject for us. The "Jews" are a "religion", as if they are Presbyterians. No hint of a nod to Jewish nationhood not even in Israel. Therefore any claim the Jews have to the land they lawfully settled and the state they built and where they live is based on their religion. Never mind the law. The Zionists are lawless.

Then come the Goebbels lies. The attack is always multi-layered.There are seven lies in less than six lines. To tackle them all is to retreat and defend. To ignore them is to confirm.

Most of all is the fit up. This is how this works. Pick a country. Any country will do. It doesn't even have to be an especially unpleasant country. Be sporting. Iran, Syria, Algeria, Saudi Arabia ... dozens of others, are no challenge.Then think of some unpleasant things. It doesn't have to be true. It is enough that there are those who say it is true. In the case of Israel you can look to the neighbours for all the material you need.

There are other countries that have annexed whole countries and driven their leadership into exile, stock pile nuclear weapons, ruthlessly suppress and imprison dissidents, aggressively confront other states in all directions, carry out executions in public on an industrial scale and even humiliate the families of the executed. But only China does all of these. This is not discrimination. Boycott China.

There are other countries that stock pile nuclear weapons, execute people for blasphemy, persecute minorities, inflame sectarian divisions, savagely oppress women, assassinate civilian politicians and harbour and supply terrorists and terrorist gangs active over the borders while filching billions in aid as a form of extortion. But only Pakistan does all of these. No discrimination here. Boycott Pakistan.

There are other countries that exterminate wallabies as if they are vermin, bludge off neighbours for their defence, expose anti-terrorist operations that they benefit from and put at risk the lives of brave agents in the process, spread cheap antisemitc conspiracy theories, insult visiting Israeli diplomats, discriminate systematically against indigenous people ground down by war and dump their surplus population on the welfare system of the nearest functional state. But only New Zealand does all of these ...

And so on.

In just a few lines Jake Lynch has revealed all you need to know about Jake Lynch. There is a law at work here. To shrug off allegations of bigotry you must discriminate against the target group as much as possible. Simple discrimination is not enough. You must isolate and zero-in with perfect malice one layer at a time until the target stands bare and alone. Then you boycott.

Nope, the devastation belongs to those common criminals found squatting on Palestinian land and who are now discovering the existence of a growing universal revulsion to the barbarisms of those crazed and bigoted stone age common criminals which the remainder of mankind finds increasingly repugnant.

Justice Goldstone has already ruled against them, but oh, I forgot, apparently he is not Jewish ENOUGH for the criminals he convicted right?

This time the Australian judiciary will hand down a similar judgement against those same common criminals.

Face it, the state of Israel is neither Jewish nor superior, it is merely a sad group of common criminals running, scared and afraid, to their last resort, the civil courts of a more reputable nation which does not share the same long criminal record as theirs.

Eat it, you're making fools of yourselves as you trip over your own clumsy little lies.

All we've seen of you so far indicates that you are indeed a direct descendent of the violently racist, extreme far-right, once-upon-a-time German National-Socialist 'thinkers' who are, despite what you may think, not exactly original in their aims, yet your goals remain the same.

Oh brave little anonymous poster, Celtic Merlin, you.

I see you've even decided to troll Jon Segall's site over the past few hours, too, eh?

What's the matter, nothing going on tonight in the suburban Pittsburgh hellhole you live in? I guess you might as well just harass the Jews for a bit then, eh?

David can't come out and play tonight, I guess? Poor Celtic Merlin, all dressed up in armbands with nowhere to go...

And back to your completely unhinged comment, can you please provide citations of the numerous fantastic claims you make?

And spewings published by Jeff Rense are not a reputable source, just in case you were wondering.

Please do for us what even the people you purportedly claim to stand for cannot do - define for us what exactly is a 'Palestinian,' and what makes them a specific people aside from a hardcore drive to kill Jews.

Please define for us what exactly is 'Palestinian land,' and please tell us why you only claim that Israel's stake to Judea and Samaria, the undisputed historical homeland of the Jewish people, is 'illegal,' while at the same time you seemingly completely accept a 19-year period of illegal Jordanian military occupation as solid, if your actual problem is not, in fact, merely a simple hatred of Jews?

Please tell us why Jews can not live where Mahmoud Abbas thinks we can not live. Please tell us how literal Nazi-style Judenrein states, as for example a future 'Palestine,' are progressive, in your definition of same. Please expand upon this, and show us how and why you are not a supporter of racist, apartheid policies.

Please, if you can, inform us once and for all that the criminal terror organizations that claim to represent the 'Palestinian' people are not direct descendants of the WWII-era Nazi Germans.

Clear that up for us.

Please tell us all the wonderful stories of how kindly Jews have been treated in the Arab world. Please enlighten us as to how Arab nations have treated Jewish populations and their possessions? Please tell us how many Jewish museums exist in the Arab-Muslim world, and indeed how many Jews, period, are still allowed to live in same?

Please explain why we should care so much about the 'Palestinian' 'Nakba,' while ignoring the even greater number of Jews who were ethnically cleansed from their homelands by Arab nations throughout the Middle East in the middle of the past century?

At least I am the only one holding title deeds for the property Jay, I also have no dispossessed families to compete against me for the title deeds to the land or from whom I should fear retribution for theft of my land.

I sleep real well at night too Jay, do you think I need to do teshuva? Is Gan Eden beyond my reach do you think Jay?

"Head and shoulders above?" and how do you score points by your reckoning Mike? Are points scored for the number of international crimes committed? Civilian genocides? Theft of land? Number of squatters?

If so, you're right! we are talking scores which no other nation could match, because Israel is the only nation which could commit so many crimes Mike, no other human society would even want to compete.

Oops! Will I be "educated" by your "Operation Megaphone" software Jay? Shall I wait till you get it all loaded so I can hear you "educate me" straight from Tel Aviv?

How is the state of Israel's "hasbara" these days Jay? Looking a little tattered is it? Tarnished perhaps?

But then shame is not an emotion which psychopaths experience.

Not interested Jay, I'll let you and your mates all foam at the mouth alone without me, I'm already all bored and disinterested, we've all seen the efforts of hasbara and we already know the whole regurgitated story.

Besides, the last thing anybody expects from a pro Israeli apologist is truth and integrity so I am sure you can sloth around in your own filthy lies alone without me to cheer lead you on.

There is no balance when we speak of the rights of criminals vs the rights of their victims Jay - you will find the increasing majority of the world is showing a bias firmly in favour of the victims of your dirty little Israel, which has nothing to do with "Jews" as your vulgarity so inaccurately attempts to point out.

"They" want to "kill Jews"? Who does? Israel is a criminal settler state which illegally occupies somebody else's country, which are the only ones attempting to erase anybody else from the face of the earth, to wipe off the map, whose people you have scattered to refugee camps across the Arab world, whose people you have regularly massacred for the entire duration of most people's natural life and who you now even imply already don't exist with your sick question "define Palestinian"

You want to know how "kindly" Jews are treated? The biggest Jewish population outside of Israel is in Iran, and with very little complaint either I might add.

Jay, as I said, these tiresome regurgitations from you little apologists is a vulgarity all civilised people now grow weary of, so do try to civilise yourself a little and join the rest of us here in the 21st century.

Please leave the personal insults out of this, and actually respond to the questions I've asked you, if you can.

I have, unfortunately, never been to Tel Aviv in my life, but within the next five years I surely will.

And thank G-d for that.

The funny thing is that as an atheist, completely assimilated, American Jew, it's folks like you who have have driven me to connect with my local community and even also to attend synagogues (Reconstructionist, in my case).

And I know I'm not alone.

Thanks anyway for contributing in some small part to making me connect with my roots.

Keep up your 'advocacy,' Heinrich. The ghosts of Charles Lindbergh and thousands of Bund Campers are cheering you on.

Ah yes, you blessed little sainted martyr you, the first insult here was certainly tossed at YOU after your very reasonable racist assault on Jews, which of course I'm sure you regularly launch on all other minorities, and not just the most persecuted people in the history of the world.

Ah yes, the "anti-Semite" card again. That has been so thoroughly used, overused, reused, repeated again, re-used again and again and again - sheesh - get a life Jay, it was debunked even before it was used the first time!.

But Jay, it pleases me to learn how I have been a positive influence in your life, to reconnect with your local community, that is so sweet!

Does that mean you might refuse to "assimilate" with the rest of us Jay?

Does it mean you might also feel "threatened" Jay? Maybe even grab a shake of the paranoia gescheft which costs our Homeland Security so much these days?

You're right, you are an atheist, and when you go to Tel Aviv,will you be lowering or raising the average IQ of Philadelphia Jay?

Even at only 94 I know you'll be lowering the average IQ of Israel bud.

Enjoy the trip by the way Jay, and if you come across any of the Hezbo boys, give them the thumbs up from me mate!

Thanks Jay, you been a whole lot of fun, you can put your pants back on now, I've had enough of all the crap anyway.

Please provide a definition then, and tell of us of their magical, historical lands and horse stables, etc etc...

It shouldn't be so hard. For starters, since you claim that there is such a place as 'East Jerusalem,' perhaps you can provide us with a brief history of its relations with its neighbors, its transit systems, its economic policies, its universities, its unique culture, its long history of 'Palestinianism,' etc etc...

Jay, you know what? and I know this is a terrible thing to think about such a wonderful righteous mensch like you, but I am beginning to wonder about whether you might perhaps harbour some tiny degree of Islamophobia Jay.

Once again, I 'fear' (i.e. - 'phobe') nothing and nobody, and I have a more diverse cast of friends and associates in my real life than people you'll ever meet in your dreams.

But nice try, Jew-hater.

Once again, I've asked -

"Please provide a definition then, and tell of us of their magical, historical lands and horse stables, etc etc...

It shouldn't be so hard. For starters, since you claim that there is such a place as 'East Jerusalem,' perhaps you can provide us with a brief history of its relations with its neighbors, its transit systems, its economic policies, its universities, its unique culture, its long history of 'Palestinianism,' etc etc..."

Please answer this simple question if you'd like to continue contributing here.By the way, does asking questions about Muslims make you uncomfortable?

Jay, I appear to have prompted a lot of questions from you, and that is a good thing, you really should ask these questions, especially if you have never heard of "East Jerusalem" or if you really thought Palestinians and Jordanians never existed.

I do hope I have helped a little with those confusions.

And no, I don't believe I am Islamophobic.

Since you have no idea who or what I am I will also not bother addressing your remarks about whom I do or do not know, you will agree it is irrelevant, and I don't particularly care to learn about who you do or do not know.

As far as posting here is concerned, no, hats off to you for allowing what you perceive to be a hostile blogger to post here anyway, that, at least, is to your credit.

Go ahead and delete it all, there is nothing I contributed which I particularly care for anyway.

I visited the site in response to an allegation that this was a hate site. I have satisfied my curiosity.

But Jay, I have very little interest in Malala Yousafzai, and we both know why you have posed the question.

You would be disappointed to pursue that line with me Jay.

As for the remaining questions, you know the ones, like "what is a Jordanian" and "what is East Jersualem" - you may as well have asked "define an Easter Bunny" or "what is a Goo-Frig" - really? I could give a rat's ass.

tHe glaring thing here is that there are concepts which both you and I KNOW are real but which I know you do not accept, although you claim they do not exist.

Ha!

Now it's time to get that last cuppa and get ready for bed - CHIT! I hope there are no pointed hats outside!!

Perhaps you can enlighten me as to my alleged ulterior motives in opposing the attempted assassination of a little girl, who is younger than my own daughter.

Your 'Islamophobia' definitely makes me uncomfortable now.

~~~

Of course you don't give a rat's ass about my other questions. You were only here to troll Jews. At least you admit it now.

I hate to disappoint you, but I actually do support the creation of a Palestinian state. I just do not believe their leaders and culture are at the emotional state necessary to cooperate with Jews in pursuit of a successful modern state, and their people will be the ones who suffer.

Hence, Israel should unilaterally declare defensible final borders, and toss the keys to what is left to either the current Palestinian dictator or the next one.

They could have had much more if only they hadn't launched decades of terror wars, and refused numerous offers of what they claim to have always wanted.

I'd feel pretty confident in stating that never before in the history of the world have any allegedly oppressed people ever refused their own freedom as many times as Palestinian 'leaders' have.

Therein lies the problem.

They're gonna have to ultimately cooperate with Jews, and we can only hope that they will soon rise to the level of emotional and secular maturity necessary for same.

You know Jay, to you the ultimate victory is to gain an admission from some mindless schmuck that somebody who does not share your warped view of the world simply exists for no other purpose than to "troll Jews" or to be "anti-Semitic". LoL - I was only kidding about you being at Israel's average 94 IQ in my earlier post, but I am really beginning to wonder now.

There is a lot more meat on this "Israel the hate-filled criminal State" bone than the worn out "Israel" vs "Anti-Semitic" debate you keep droning on about Jay, but again, you know this is true, you merely refuse to accept it and then you pretend to present reasoned argument in support of that fiction.

So far as your contention that other people of the Israeli region should "co-operate with Jews" is concerned, see, there again, the same ugly thing.

Define "Jews" with specific reference to Israel, and in precisely the same way you expect somebody to define a Palestinian, or a Jordanian. Is it for example, possible to be both Jewish AND a self declared atheist? Surely that must be herem?

No Jay, I also do not share your optimism for the survival of a modern state in the modern age which is styled along the racist policies of Israel, There is no really bright future for such a state, and it is this view of mine which really irks you. Deep down inside you know i am right, and it frightens you.

Get over it Jay, the end really is nigh. Embrace it Jay, don't fight it, submit, gently, it really won't hurt to admit that nobody in Israel belongs to any special exclusive club which entitles its members to special rights, privileges or mysterious authorities above those of every other human being.

The Jews are a people, and Israel is the state of the Jewish people, in the very same way that Italy is the state of the Italian people and Greece is the state of the Greek people and Poland is the state of the Polish people and Japan is the state of the Japanese people, and etc etc.

The Jewish people are amongst, if not the single, oldes, ethnoreligious groups in the world, and are from originally right where the State of Israel now is.

See how easy that was?

Now can you please tell us all about this fantastic wonderland of non-Jewish 'East Jerusalem' that you continue to insist exists? Can you tell us about their transit systems, their relations with neighboring nations, their political parties, famous figures and culture, etc etc?

Do you support the fanatically racist premise that Jews can not live where Palestinian dictator Mahmoud Abbas or John Kerry say they can not?

If you do not support this, can you tell us what you're doing to convince 'Palestinians' that a Nazi-style Judenrein state has no future in our modern age?

Or once again, is it only Jews you are oh-so-very-concerned about?

Israel may make some stupid decisions, like releasing terrorist murderers from its prisons, but it doesn't submit to anybody, and never will.

You may be a proud submissive little dhimmi to whatever makes you fear Muslims, you Islamophobe, but that's your problem to work out.

Like it or not, Israel will be around long after you and I are both gone.

But Jay, you said you're from Philadelphia, not Israel. That you are "Jewish" and an atheist does not provide you with some claim to a piece of land inhabited by somebody else for the past thousand odd years, but it more especially does not provide you with an excuse to evict anyone already living on that land.

Jay, just so you know, I spent more than two decades fighting another apartheid state, and one which your mob in Israel even supported, and they held precisely the same views. They claimed ownership to the land on the basis of 1- ethnicity (a race) and 2- religion (christianity) which they claimed, as Israel does, was entitled to its own self determination. They passed a law called the "Repugnancy Act" which assumed all laws of the other tribes in the region which were "repugnant to their own laws "were not enforcable against them" and that formed the basis of their apartheid - just like the one in your Israel Jay.

They also evicted other people from their land on the basis of their 1- ethnicity and 2 religion, just like Israel does.

They had precisely the same arguments you present and display, precisely the same fears I see are obviously in you. They even claimed to be "fearless", as you do and they confidently made the claim that their great state would never die, exactly as you do. They were also the only nuclear armed state in Africa, without signing any proliferation agreements, just like your little Israel, and they had a fearless army, which, unlike your Israel, did not make war on women and children, you hold the championship on that score, no other nation could possibly compete.

Adapt Jay, adapt, because the same winds of change which blew for them are blowing for you, and I was there to celebrate the liberation of that land, and guess what, I will be there to celebrate the liberation of Palestine because those same winds of change are blowing ever stronger for you too.

Only then will the land be returned to the true owners, the ones with the genuine title deeds, from the Nile to the Euphrates Jay, and if you need a definition of "liberation", I'll be happy to give you one, straight after you look up "East Jerusalem" on the Oslo accord website.

"...You see, the strategy for such people, as is the historical case with anti-Semitism, is to load up on accusations to keep the Jew in the dock defending him/herself, to keep all eyes on the supposed misdeeds of Jews and wipe clean the brutality and ugliness of those who wish them harm. ..."

By the way, some comments by "TitusRockjaw" that I saw listed on his Google+ page (https://plus.google.com/115659430045251953303/posts):

The simplest solution is send them all of to Israel where they can all live happily ever after with the rest of the world's Androphobes, Islamophobes, racists, anti-UN international criminals and biggest middle east criminals.

Yanks are basically fucked up, all the good ones were killed on D-Day, the rest are basically a mob of dummass bums and their TV presenters are living proof of this.

And, by the way, any newly re-founded national country would have citizenship laws of "right of return" in order to populate that country.

And, by the way, several countries have citizenship laws by which people whose parents' nationalities are of those countries can be automatically granted citizenship of those countries.

And, by the way, anyone, whether or not they are Jewish, can apply for, and be granted, citizenship of Israel, in the same way that anyone can apply for, and be granted, citizenship of other democratic countries.

"Moderator: 'Brothers and sisters, now listen to the speech of Mahmoud Abbas, President of the State of Palestine, which will be delivered by fighter Jamal Muhaisen, member of Fatah's Central Committee.'"Muhaisen, on behalf of Abbas: 'All our holy places are still under occupation, and so far we have not liberated one inch of Palestinian land. All Palestinian land is occupied -- Gaza is occupied, the West Bank is occupied, the 1948 lands (i.e., Israel) are occupied and Jerusalem is occupied.'

Mahmoud Abbas: "...Now let us recall the pioneers: The Grand Mufti of Palestine, Haj Muhammad Amin Al-Husseini. We also recall Ahmed Al-Shuqeiri, founder of the PLO. We also recall Yahya Hammouda, Chairman of the PLO Executive Committee, and we cannot forget the one who lit the first spark of the 1936 rebellion, Martyr Izz a-Din Al-Qassam. ..."

"Article 19: Zionism is a colonialist movement in its inception, aggressive and expansionist in its goal, racist in its configurations, and fascist in its means and aims. Israel, in its capacity as the spearhead of this destructive movement and as the pillar of colonialism, is a permanent source of tension and turmoil in the Middle East, in particular, and to the international community in general. Because of this, the people of Palestine are worthy of the support and sustenance of the community of nations."

"Article 19: The partition of Palestine in 1947 and the establishment of the state of Israel are entirely illegal, regardless of the passage of time, because they were contrary to the will of the Palestinian people and to their natural right in their homeland, and inconsistent with the principles embodied in the Charter of the United Nations; particularly the right to self-determination."

"Article 19: Armed struggle is a strategy and not a tactic and the Palestinian Arab people's armed revolution is a decisive factor in the liberation fight and in uprooting the Zionist existence, and this struggle will not cease unless the Zionist state is demolished and Palestine is completely liberated."

"Traces the history of PLO/Fatah, now better known as the 'Palestinian Authority,' the organization that will govern a future Palestinian State. The video shows how PLO/Fatah emerged from the German Nazi Final Solution. Hajj Amin al Husseini, father of the Palestinian Movement, creator of Fatah, and mentor to Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas, was co-director with Adolf Eichmann of the death camp system that exterminated between 5 and 6 million European Jews in WWII."

"The video dispels certain myths concerning the origin of the name 'Palestine' and of the 'Arab Palestinians.' It documents that the 'Arab Palestinians' are in fact mostly from other places, and migrated to what is now Israel at the same time as the Zionist Jews, many of them because of the economic boom that the Zionist Jews produced in what was then British Mandate Palestine. The Zionist Jews did not steal the 'best' land from Arab landowners but in fact purchased abandoned desert and swamp land from absentee Arab landlords who were quite eager to sell. This was explained by Hajj Amin al Husseini himself. Husseini, father of the Palestinian movement, launched his fourth terrorist attack against the Jews of the Mandate in 1936-39. The violence was so great that the British sent a team to investigate. When questioned, Husseini admitted that the Zionist Jews had not stolen anybody's land but in fact had bought it. In fact, Husseini had been among the major consolidators and sellers of land, and growing tremendously rich by it."

If one is suffering feeling anger and hate because of one's experiencing the suffering of not having what one wants, lashing out against a group of people who constitute a cultural and ethnic group who, for the past over two thousand years, have been continuously universally libeled, have been repeatedly mass-murdered, have continuously been subjected to having persecutorial unjust laws made against themselves, have been continuously wrongfully viewed as being evil and powerful and oppressive of others, and have been continuously treated with bigoted intransigent contempt, and are currently being universally libeled, are currently under intendedly genocidal siege, are currently being subjected to persecutorial unjust legislative rulings proposed by totalitarian oppressive persecutorial states, are currently wrongfully viewed as being evil and powerful and oppressive of others, and are currently being treated with bigoted intransigent contempt, is not good for one and is not good for others.

With the emphasis on "If" Daniel. If what you said were but true, what an intolerable injustice it would be. What you said is not entirely true is it Daniel, although to your credit it might not be entirely untrue.

Half truths are no truths at all.

But is it true Daniel?

There are those who believe the works of Sun Tsu provide clear insight into the outcome of conflicts, and, according to Sun Tzu, ultimately, for Israel to survive it will need much more than a few illegal nukes, international political skulduggery and a bad attitude from its supporters, it needs to be morally correct, which is why its demise is a given, the only remaining controversy to be decided upon being "how soon".

In my first comment on this blog post, I have quoted comments that you have posted on YouTube videos, which are comments by you which further demonstrate the nature of your views and which further demonstrate your intentions.

I respect that view Daniel, but I disagree strongly and fundamentally.

I also first visited this blog out of curiosity because somebody I know referred to it as a "hate" site. It is not a hate site, it is a site where views, fundamentally different to those of mine and others are presented with great civility and with great respect..

I apologise for any comments of my own which may have offended, and I even apologise for the hudspah of posting here. As a person who shares none of your enthusiasm for Israel I had no business being here.

I leave this blog with much greater respect for the supporters of Israel in general. You are wonderful ambassadors, and I hope Israel proves to be deserved of your support.

Barack Obama on the so-called "Arab Spring" (May 19, 2011):

"There are times in the course of history when the actions of ordinary citizens spark movements for change because they speak to a longing for freedom that has been building up for years. In America, think of the defiance of those patriots in Boston who refused to pay taxes to a King, or the dignity of Rosa Parks as she sat courageously in her seat."

The "Arab Spring" was the brutal rise of political Islam in the Middle East and this is what Obama compares the Civil Rights Movement to?

The Fundamental Argument:

The progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, creates and supports venues that demonize and defame the Jewish state, thereby also creating hatred toward the Jewish people.

Such venues include political journals, such as, but not limited to, Daily Kos, the Huffington Post, and the UK Guardian, numerous universities throughout the United States and Europe, various NGOs with an anti-Israel agenda, and the entire progressive-left movement to boycott, divest from, and sanction (BDS) the Jewish people of the state of Israel.

These venues and organizations do not generally criticize Israel, but dehumanize that country.

For this reason, among others, the progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, undermines the well-being and safety of Jews around the world, sometimes resulting in violence toward us.

Therefore, as a matter of common sense and basic human decency, Jews should leave the progressive movement and the Democratic Party as we seek to build alternative political structures that are not home to toxic anti-Semitic anti-Zionists, who would see us robbed of self-determination and self-defense.

What You Can't Discuss:

This is a partial list of taboo topics within progressive-left venues around the Arab-Israel conflict. You cannot discuss this material because it undermines the "Palestinian narrative" of perpetual victimhood. This narrative is a club used by the Arab and Muslim enemies of Israel, along with their western progressive allies, to delegitimize that country in preparation for its eventual dissolution.

1) The centuries of Jewish dhimmitude under the boot of Islamic imperialism.

2) The recent construction of Palestinian identity, its connection to Soviet Cold War politics, and how this is an Arab people with a Roman name that refers to Greeks.

3) Arab and Palestinian Koranically-based racism as the fundamental source of the conflict.

4) The ways in which contemporary progressive anti-Zionism serves as a cloak for gross anti-Semitism.

5) The Palestinian theft and appropriation of Jewish history.

6) "Pallywood."

7) The historical connections between the Nazis, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Palestinian national movement.

8) The perpetual refusal of the Palestinian-Arabs to accept a state for themselves in peace next to the Jewish one.

9) The progressive portrayal of terrorists as those fighting a righteous war of "resistance."

10) The Arab-Palestinian indoctrination of children with Jew hatred.

11) Human rights violations against women, children, and Gay people in the Muslim Middle East.

12) The fact that violent Jihadis call themselves "Jihadis" and claim to love death above life.

This is only a partial list, so please let us know the many more that we are missing.
